Chapter 420: Chapter 395 Evolution Once Again_1
Three Divine-level Martial Arts; one of speed, one of swordsmanship, and one of punches.
Both swordsmanship and punches are peculiar and divided into ten levels.
The most profound one is the speed class martial art, it astonishingly has twelve levels, second only to Nine Extremes of the World.
The methods of Cultivation and the Divine Intent Diagram are integrated.
Lu Yan couldn’t help but wonder if there were any Nine Extremes of the World hidden in some Fairy Ruins.
"Lu Yan, I have no use for these things, you keep them."
Lin Yan said.
Without being overly polite, Lu Yan accepted them.
They then left the stone chamber and continued walking further into the passage.
Soon they reached the end of the passage.
The mountain was hollow, at the end of the passage was a huge space within the mountain. In the middle, there was a small pool filled with a fiery red liquid, exactly like magma, but it was filled with immortal Qi and the Rule of Fire was flowing above it.
On the surface of the liquid, there was a fire-red ring floating around.
This was quite similar to the ring that Immortal Lord Red Flame had used before, but it was clearly not the same one.
This ring exuded an intimidating breath that was intimidating, aloof, and overlooking everything.
It made Lu Yan feel pressured.
"This is the Immortal Treasure of the Red Flame Immortal Ruins. However, due to the creation of the Fairy Ruins and its illumination for five thousand years, its power is already exhausted and no longer retains its former glory."
After saying that, Lin Yan activated the Rule of Fire, enveloped the ring, and then grabbed it in mid-air. The ring fell into Lin Yan’s hands.
"But, every Immortal Treasure possesses a potent Artifact Spirit. Although this treasure is already useless, the ’fragment’ of the Artifact Spirit remains. If given to Yinuo, she can refine it in the Great Sun Melting Furnace to quickly enhance her Soul Power, greatly improve her cultivation level. She could even master the Rule of Fire in advance."
Lin Yan said.
The expression in Lu Yan’s eyes brightened and he asked, "Senior, you mentioned that the Flame Pool in the Red Flame Fairy Ruins can assist you in recovery. Is it this one?"
Lin Yan nodded, and said, "Correct, this is the Flame Pool."
Lin Yan pointed at the small pool saying, "The water in this pool was evolved here by the Immortal Treasure over more than five thousand years. Here, I will seclude myself and refine these fluids. Not only will they compensate for the previous consumption, but they will also heal some of my injuries. Afterward, being able to exhibit the cultivation level of He Dao realm should not be a problem."
"However, Yinuo’s cultivation level is too low; she can’t suppress this ring by herself. You should go and bring her here first, and I will assist her."
Lin Yan said.
"Thank you, Senior."
Lu Yan quickly left the cave and turned into a beam of light that shot into the sky, heading towards Wu Mountain.
As soon as Lu Yan returned to Wu Mountain, he saw Shen Yinuo waiting anxiously.
"Lu Yan, are you okay?"
As soon as Shen Yinuo saw Lu Yan, she rushed over with her face full of joy.
"I’m fine, let’s go to the Red Flame Fairy Ruins first and talk as we go."
Lu Yan said.
The two of them flew toward the Red Flame Fairy Ruins together. On the way, Lu Yan briefly explained the situation in the Red Flame Fairy Ruins.
Returning to the Red Flame Fairy Ruins, with Lin Yan’s help, they successfully put the ring into Shen Yinuo’s Great Sun Melting Furnace.
Shen Yinuo sat cross-legged, her eyes tightly closed, her whole body enveloped by flames, as she urged the Great Sun Melting Furnace to its fullest to refine the ring.
After Shen Yinuo had stabilized, Lin Yan finally felt relieved.
"Lu Yan, I’ll leave the matters outside to you. I need to meditate now. Hopefully, I can recover my cultivation level to the He Dao realm before the Immortal Clan arrives."
Lin Yan said.
"Senior, rest assured."
Lu Yan replied.
Lin Yan nodded and entered the pool to begin his seclusion.
Lu Yan came out of the cave and his figure fluttered, several Martial Arts Avatars flew out and surrounded the boundary of the Fairy Ruins.
If any outsiders approached, he would be immediately alerted.
"Regrettably, no Soul Crystals were obtained from the Red Flame Fairy Ruins."
Lu Yan sighed to himself.
"What should I do for my cultivation next? Should I continue to cultivate in the Nine Layer Heaven or should I comprehend martial arts?"
Lu Yan pondered.
Now, he already had four beginner level Divine-level Martial Arts on his hands.
Three of them were recently obtained from the Red Flame Fairy Ruins, and one more was acquired from Saint Shengwu.
The Martial God’s secret!
Indeed.
This was the Martial God’s Secret, the founding martial art of the Shengwu Sect. It was divided into twelve levels and was a top-notch Divine-level martial art, second only to Nine Extremes of the World.
But after some thought, Lu Yan decided to cultivate in Nine Layer Heaven first.
Comprehending martial arts takes too much time.
Even after mastering it, his strength would hardly make a qualitative leap.
Once the cultivation level breaks through, however, there will be a qualitative leap in cultivation level.
Of course, before entering the Nine Layer Heaven for cultivation, he needs to wait for all the Immortal Corpses inside the Dao Book to be completely refined first.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Dao Book was still constantly releasing energy to power up the Demon Hunting.
The time for refining the Immortal Corpse should not be wasted, thus the Primordial Spirit flew out and entered the Ocean of Thunder in Nine Layer Heaven for cultivation.
One day later, Lu Yan’s heart stirred, his Primordial Spirit dove down and returned to his physical body.
Very soon, Demon Hunting would break through to the thirteenth level.
A moment later, Demon Hunting broke through the last barrier and reached the highest realm’s thirteenth level.
Then, the blessings from Heaven and Earth descended.
This time, the gifts bestowed by heaven and earth were extremely vigorous, although not as intense as the last time the Yanluo Golden Body had a breakthrough.
After all, Lu Yan’s foundation now was much stronger than it was then.
However, this time, the transformation of his true body and True Vigor appeared to be different from the Yanluo Golden Body.
It seemed to be not a transformation in ’quantity’, but in ’quality’.
After the gifts from heaven and earth had finished, Lu Yan felt that both his true body and True Vigor had undergone a ’qualitative’ change.
It was hard to say about the true body, but the True Vigor had become more condensed, resilient, as well as sharp.
Whoosh!
Lu Yan flew up into the sky, drawing out the Slaying Immortals Bow - no arrows were loaded, he only pulled at the bowstring with an empty hand. The True Vigor surged in, condensing into an arrow, which he shot towards the ground.
With a soft ’plop’ sound, like a sharp needle penetrating tofu, the arrow sank into the ground, leaving a bottomless small hole in its wake.
Lu Yan descended and his spiritual sense explored down the hole, discovering that the small opening went as deep as thirty odd miles.
"Such powerful penetrating power..."
A smile crept onto Lu Yan’s face.
It was well-known that the rocks of the Red Flame Immortal Ruins were extremely hard, far surpassing other places.
Such hardness, yet an arrow had penetrated through thirty miles of this – it showed just how terrifying this arrow was.
"This transformation seems to have granted my True Vigor a hint of the characteristics of the Demon Hunting," Lu Yan evaluated internally.
This meant that once he launched an attack, both the attack power and penetrating power would greatly increase.
Especially when using the Demon Hunting skill.
The Demon Hunting skill breaking through to the thirteenth layer already greatly increased its strength, and coupled with the transformed True Vigor...
To be precise, the current level of his true body had already surpassed the King’s True Body, it could be called Divine Grade.
"Now, if I were to shoot the Destroying Demon Arrow with full force, could it break through a He Dao existence’s defense?"
Lu Yan was very curious, eager to test with an existence at the He Dao level.
Of course, this was just a passing thought.
Suppressing the restless urge in his heart, Lu Yan channeled the energy of the Dao Book towards another Martial Arts Avatar, the Asura Vajra Fist.
Just upgrading the Demon Hunting alone could not consume all those Immortal Corpses.
The previous enhancement of the Demon Hunting skill consumed about the energy of one Seventh Transformation of Primordial Spirit Immortal.
Before that, he had devoured one Third Turn Immortal, two Fourth Turn Immortals, one Fifth Turn Immortal, one Seventh Turn Immortal, and the Immortal Lord Red Flame.
Although most of the spirit and power of the Immortal Lord Red Flame were absorbed by the chains, leaving little left. The remainder could still compare to a Seventh Turn Immortal.
The Asura Vajra Fist, with only nine layers, upgraded incredibly quickly.
It didn’t take long before Asura Vajra Fist was upgraded to the ninth layer, bringing about the gift of heaven and earth once again.
However, with Lu Yan’s current foundation, the heaven and earth gifts brought about by the ninth layer of Divine-level Martial Arts were minimal.
It could only be called better than nothing.
Continuing at this pace, it was expected that all the Divine-level Martial Arts below the tenth layer would soon fail.
After the Asura Vajra Fist was upgraded to the highest level, he proceeded to upgrade another Divine-level Martial Art, the Yin Yang Poison Palm obtained from the Fang Family of Jinzhou.
During the past few years, he had already cultivated the Yin Yang Poison Palm to the basic level.
The Yin Yang Poison Palm, also having nine layers, was, in a breath, upgraded to the highest level and received a bit of heaven and earth gifts.
After the Yin Yang Poison Palm reached the ninth layer, the energy inside the Dao Book finally dwindled. Lu Yan used it to upgrade the Phantom Dragon Palm.
He could only bring Phantom Dragon Palm up to the fifth layer before the energy in the Dao Book was completely consumed.
Huff...Huff...
Lu Yan activated the Yin Yang Poison Palm. His hands changed - one became pitch black while the other turned snow-white. His palms fluttered rapidly and an invisible, odorless poisonous gas filled the air. Its invisible killing power was even more profound than that of Mother-in-law Wandu.
"This Poison Palm, I’ve never cultivated it before, it may have unexpected effects when fighting enemies in the future," Lu Yan thought to himself.
Putting aside the martial arts for now, he let his Primordial Spirit out of his body, ascending towards the Nine Heavens, and continued his days of tempering with lightning.
In a blink of an eye, they had broken through the Red Flame Immortal Ruins, and half a month had passed.
One morning, Lin Yan came out of seclusion. His injuries were significantly better, and he even stated outright that he could now exert the strength of the He Dao level.
Their next step was to stay hidden in the Red Flame Immortal Ruins, lying in wait for the Immortal Clan to come for the rescue with the Lifeblood Sword intending to save the Immortal Lord Red Flame.
They would then make their move to snatch the other party’s Lifeblood Sword.
So, for the days that followed, Lu Yan did not go into the Nine Layer Heaven to cultivate, to avoid missing the battle.
In reality, they didn’t have to wait long.
On the fifth day after Lin Yan came out of seclusion, a white light charged towards them from a distance.
Once the white light receded, the silhouette of a two-headed white tiger appeared.
"Eh? What happened? Why has the Rule Power of the Red Flame Immortal Ruins disappeared?"
The two-headed white tiger was puzzled.
"Who’s there?"
All of a sudden, the two-headed white tiger raised its head, spurting out a ray of white light.
That was an attack formed by the fusion of Immortal Power and Rule of Gold, which was extremely alarming.
In the sky above, a Coiling Dragon Spear abruptly descended, colliding with the white light.
Impact!
The white light burst open, but the Coiling Dragon Spear did not stop, targeting one of the tiger’s heads right at the center of its forehead.
Roar!
The two-headed white tiger roared, the Rule of Gold in the world began to surge wildly. In front of the tiger, a metal shield was formed.
With a bang, the metal shield exploded, but the charge of the Coiling Dragon Spear was also blocked, and the two-headed white tiger took the opportunity to retreat. A horrifying sense of power exploded out of it, causing the void within hundreds of miles to twist wildly, with countless ultra-sharp golden blades shuttling back and forth.
